X YOU HAVE A NEW DATE TO GET SUITED UP OR STRIPPED-DOWN OR WHAT EVER FOR THE 24TH ANNUAL POLAR BEAR PLUNGE. EXTREME WEATHER CAUSED THE CANCELLATION. THEY'RE WORKING WITH THE PARK SERVICE TO FACILITATE A MAKEUP PLUNGE. NOT A PLUNGE WITH MAKEUP. WHAT DO YOU HAVE? BACKS WHY DO I KEEP LAUGHING AT YOUR BAD JOKES? THERE IS ONE SILVER LINING THAT MAY WARM SOME HEARTS. THE POSSIBLE MAKEUP DATE OF MARCH 8 WILL GIVE THEM SOME TIME TO RAISE MORE MONEY AND HOPEFULLY REACH THEIR GOAL OF $2.5 MILLION. IT WAS EVEN TOO COLD FOR THE POLAR BEARS. THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO VOLUNTEERED TO PLUNGE INTO THE WATER OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY. THE TIPPING POINT WAS THE CONFLUENCE OF REALLY THREE EXTREMES, COLD, WEATH ER, AND ICE IN THE WATER. IT WAS A PERFECT STORM AT SANDY POINT STATE PARK. BY 8:00 A.M., IT PROMPTED SPECIAL OLYMPIC MARYLAND TWO CANCELED THE 18TH ANNUAL MARYLAND STATE POLICE POLAR BEAR PLUNGE. IT IS IN UNPRECEDENTED EVENT. WE ARE WORKING HARD TO GIVE THOSE PLUNGERS EVERYTHING THEY DESERVE. IT WAS CLEAR THINGS ARE HEADING DOWNHILL AS WE CHECKED IN WITH ROB PROBLEM AND HIS BAND OF PARTY SUPER PLUNGERS. IT LOOKS LIKE THE ATLANTIC. IT REALLY DOES. THEY ARE STILL GOING IN. CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW COLD THE WOULD BE? THEY HAD TO WADE THROUGH HALF AN INCH OF SLUSH. IT IS NASTY. ORGANIZERS SAY THEY COULD MONITOR THE HALF MILE OF BEACHFRONT NEEDED FOR 7000 PLUNGERS. MOTHER NATURE BUT THIS YEAR'S PLUNGE IN THE DEEP FREEZE. ORGANIZERS REFUSE TO BE LEFT OUT IN THE COLD. THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF TAKING A TAKE TWO ON MARCH 8. A WE HAVE ONE SCHEDULED FOR WEDNESDAY MARCH FIFTH. THE INTENT IS FOR US TO EXTEND THROUGH THE WEEK INTO MARCH 8 USING THE INFRASTRUCTURE. THEY'RE WORKING WITH THE PART SERVICE. THEY SHOULD HAVE THE NEW DATE CONFIRMED BY TOMORROW. PLUNGERS CAN PICK UP THERE AND THEN SWEATSHIRTS OF THIS WEEK AT THE SPECIAL OLYMPIC HEADQUARTERS IN ARBUTUS. YOU CAN GO FROM 9 A.M. TO 8:00 P.M. LIVE IN THE STUDIO.
